ONEY MARKET AND COMXBILOIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There ie no new feature of importance in the general discount market, the demand being steadily su stained at firm quotations. A few bills have been negotiated p er cent. under the Bank minimum, but full rates are in most instances required. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised an influx of £90,000 in bar gold, and the withdrawal of 30,000 sovereigns. The City of Washington has arrived from New York with £97,820. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material alteration. The failure has been announce d o f M essrs . Tuck, 131r claY, and C)., E Ist merchants, with lia b. `li t amounting to £120,000, of which, however, It is stated that not more than £25,000 will rank nr 01 the estate. The suspension has also been announced of Messrs Uigues and Co., Spanish commission merchants, but their liabilities are said to be small. A v acancy having occurred in the board of the South Eastern Banking Company, Mr George I cing, of the firm of Messrs Begbie, Young, ann Begbies, of Mark-lane, and one of the directors of the City Bank, has been elected to the seat. At tho meeting of the Scinde Railway Company (Including the Purj sub Railways and the Indus Steam Flotilla), togday, the report was adopted. / g o:: the Scinde undertaking the revenue account, Which is for the half-year ending Dec. 31 last, shows, after dedacting the working expenses and cost of maintenance, a net return of £3,198 13s 3d., as the Sum available to Government in reduction of inte+ rest advanced. The opening of the Punjaub line is expected to take place in a few months. In the account of the Indus Steam Flotilla it appears it'nat the sum available for the formation of an insurance and depreciation fund, and for the partial liquidation of interest ad vanced by Government, amounted in the first half of 1864 to nearly double that of the corresponding period of the previous year. A considerable increase ta stated to have taken place in the traffic, both on the Lahore and Umritsur, and the Mooltan and Sher Shah sections of the Punjaub Railway. Government sanction has been received, and a con tract accepted by Messrs. Brassey, Wy thee, and Ilenfrcy, for the construction of the entire line from L'Enritsur to Ghazeeabad, opposite Delhi, for £14,630 per mile, including provision of rolling s tock, stations, and other necessary equipments. Two O'CLOCK. Compared with the latest prices yesterday after noon Consols are lower, being 871 for transfer, and 884. for the ecccunt. The failures referred to ,abnve have created an un f avoura bl e f ee li ng i n specu lative eireleF, and sales have accordingly been Pressed, though not on an extensive scale. A. tall has taken place in the Confederate Loan, which i s now 70 72, upon the advises juct received. which Panisla Passive have improved to 314; and do. Certificat e are 131 1, The other princip a l F o r e i gn Se curities are rather flatter. Mexican are 261 27k ; do.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a very limited scale, and prices have again sh own a downward movement. Lancashire and Yorkshire have receded Ll lOs , North Western and Midland each £l, Great Western, 155., and Great Eastern, North Eastern, Berwick, and South xdastern, each ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there 1 8 little change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous shares are flat, and in float instances realise rather lower prices.

Mr Addison had been dining with se vera l f r i en d s , an d they were parting at the oorner of Rupert- s t ree t, w h en they were most unneces sarily interfered with by th e cons t a ble. He (Mr Lewis) would not say that the gentlemen wore quite so quiet as they might have been, but still there was no noise calling for the interference of the police. He would not deny that there was some chaffing going on, and that the constable's hat was knocked off, but not by Mr Addison, who took no part in the matter, when the constable rushed at Mr Addi son and seized him by the collar, end thrust his knuckles into his throat, and then Mr Addison said, "It you do not release me—you are choking me—l will strike you," and Mr Addison then did strike the constable. He considered there had been great excess on the part of the constable, and he was only struck by Mr Addison when he was nearly throttled—the constable being the aggressor. Mr Lewis then called several gentlemen, who bore out the statement he had made, and all of them denied that Addison knocked off the constable's hat—that the constable had behaved in a very insulting manner, and interfered without any reason. Same of them said they heard Mr Addison complain of being nearly choked. Ono of the gentlemen said that wh en h e went t o the station after the defendant was lock e d up, h e ( w it ne s s ) was kicked and pushed about in tho passage of the station, and his hat knocked off by about half a dozen constables, the constable Reif', y having also kicked him deliberately while on the way to the station. Mr Tyrwhitt said ho thought it an unfortunate act on the part of the constable. If decent persons were part ing with each other at the corner of a street it was too much interfering with the public for the police to interfere with them. The constable had actel with rashness, but ho did not impute bad feeling to the constable. He would not say anything harsh ag a i ns t t h e consta ble, because he knew what a difficult duty th ey had to perform, and what confu sion there generally w as i n suc h 01536. He should dis charge both defendants. Mr Hutchinson appeared to have done nothing. Mr Hutchinson said he had not interfered in the matter at all, only wishing to clear his house. I VESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL INTRUSION,—John Anderson, a man in porter's clothing, was charged with being drunk and as• saulting the police. Police-constable 336 B stated that he was on duty last evening in Cumberland-street, Pimlico, when ho was called to remove the defendant. who was conducting himself very offensively at a lady's house. The lady had jest arrived in a cab with some baggage on the roof, and when the cab stopped defendant seized a box and insisted upan carrying it into the house. He was told again and again that his services were not required, and requested to put down the box, but he would not, and carried it into the house. The lady then gave him twopence, although his services had been unsolicited, when ho declared he would not leave the house under sixpence for his services. When witness re. moved him he resisted, and kicked. The defendant was in toxicated at the time. Defendant said he gave his services, and ono of the ladies at the house asked him to carry a box up stairs. He denied ladies was called she could show that he did no t. that he had kicked the constable, and sa id if one o f the The lady, who had rettuned with her luggage, and an other who was present, wero both called and examined. They said that defendant had insisted upon forcing his way into the house, that they refused to allow him to carry a box upstairs, and he then conducted himself as described. One of them saw him kick the constable. Mr Arnold said that defendant's conduct had been very reprehensible. He had insolently forced his way into a lady's house, and then demanded money for his services. Considering this misconduct and the penalty for the assault ho should fine defendant 20s, and in default commit him for 14 days. PREFERENCE SHARES.

MAN BITTEN BY A SHARK AT GRANTON.--NeS, terday morning, while Mr Barland, druggist, Home-street, and some other gentlemen were bathing outside the eastern breakwater at Granton, a shark suddenly rose and seized hold of Mr Bandland by the leg, biting him in three places. Fortunately, Mr Barland was near the bulwarks; and notwithstanding the severe nature of the injuries he had sustained, he was able to get out of the water. The shark was afterwards seen by the other bathers, who say that this strange visitor to the Firth appeared to be about three feet in length.—Scotwati. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. BOW-STREET. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TIIE BROTHER OF AN ADMIRALTY CLERlC.,—William Evans was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with obtaining a quantity of goods from Mr Merrifield, by false representations. The prosecutor is a tailor, carrying on business in the Strand. The prisoner a short time ago went into his shop and entered into conversation with the shopman. He said he was a clerk holding a responsible situation in the Ad ralty, Somerset-house, and he wished to have a coat made for him, foi which he would pay in a few days. Mr. Merrifield told him he was an entire stranger, and that he vas cot in the habit of giving credit to persons ho did not know. The prisoner then asked the prosecutor whether ho doubted his representation about his being engaged, as he represented, because if he did, ho had better accompany him to Somerset House. The shopman went, and the prisoner entered one of the rooms in the "Tran sport Dep , rtment,'' and from the mariner in which the pri• soner conducted himself there, he believed all that ho had stated was true. The coat was made, and on being taken to the Transport Office the prisoner gave him an I 0 U on the official paper, tolling him at the same time to call in a few days and ho would pay him the money. Before, how ever, the I 0 U was presented the prisoner obtained a pair of trousers, saying he would pay both together. The prosecutor wanting the money went to the Transport Office, and on presenting the I 0 U, ho discovered that ho had been deceived, as the prisoner had personated his brother and signed his name to the paper, he being the person holding the Government situation. On the case being called on, a solicitor on either side wee in attendance; but Mr Merrifield informed the mag;strate that Mr J. B. Evans, Dr whose appearance the case had been adjourned, was not in attendance. Mr Vaughan—Did you give him notice that he would bo required to attend. Mr Merrifield—Yes, on t,vo separate occasions I told him he would have to attend. Mr Vaughan—lie may yet come, so I will delay pro ceeding for the present. if he does not I shall issue n sum mons for his attendance. The prisoner was then put back, and the constable went in search of Mr J. B. Evans. Upon his return, The solicitor for the prosecution, addressing the magis trate, said—Sir, the brother of the prisoner, who is a mate rial witness, is not in attendance, and therefore I must ask you for a remand, until Mr Evans is forced to attend by summons, or if necessary by warrant. Mr Vaughan—ls there any other charge against the prisoner ? Police Constable 100 F—Yes. sir, there are several. Mr Vaughan—Are the parties present ? Constabla—ln two cases, but one of them, an optician, who had sold him two opera glasses, declines to prosecute because he is friendly with— Mr Vaughan—Never mind the reason. The charge is only one of misdemeanour, and if the parties refuso to ap pear, that is enough. What is the other case Constable—A bootmaker, who charges him with obtain ing goods from him. Mr Vaughan—Then I will take that case if the witnesses are in attendance. Mr Wontner, who appeared for the prisoner, here asked that the evidence taken on the first occasion should be read, which having been d _ _ _ Mr Vaughan said—Now, let me hear the other case. The bootmaker, however, ready as ho appeared to prose cute before the delay, here shook his head and said ho should decline to prosecute. C ,nstable—They have been— Mr Vaughan—lf he reclines to prosecute there is an end of it. I shall now formally remand tho prisoner on the first charge. Mr Wontner—l hope your worship will reduoe the amount of bail required for the prisoner's appearance. Mr Vaughan—No. I think himself in £2OO, and two sureties of £lOO each, is not at all an unreasonable require ment, The prisoner was then removed from tho dock. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN OMNIBUS PROPRIETOR AND HIS DRIVER CON VICTED FOR CRUELTY TO HORSES.—Mr John Bacon, Of Ledbury-road, Bayswater, proprietor of omnibus 7,517, appeared before Mr Tyrwhict, to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of having caused and procured to be tortured two horses, by working them in an unfit state ; and Wm. Poultney, a driver in his employ, appeared to his recognisancos, charged with ill-treating the horses, by working them in an unfit state. The horses, which were brought to the front of the court on the last occasion for the magistrate's inspection, were in a shocking state. Rutherford, ono of the officers of the Society, saw the defendant Poultney driving the horses, attached to an omnibus, near the Tottenham-court-road, and, observing that they a➢peared quite exhausted, examined them, and found the off side horse had a largo wound on the near side hock, which was badly swollen. The other horse had one of its hoofs split. Both were in a very low condition. Mr Arthur Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon, and ➢lr Jarvis, veterinary surgeon, on the part of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, deposed to the condition of the horses; both gentlemen stating that they were totally unfit, for work, and the former remarking that they were the remains of good horses, which would work till they died. The defendant Bacon said ho was told by his veterinary surgeon that they were in a fit state to work, and there fore sent them out. Mr Day, veterinary surgeon, Wellington-Mews, Led bury road, was called by Mr Bacon, and said had at tended to Mr Bacon's horses. One of the horses spoken of was in a low condition, but the other was pretty good. One of the horses was nearly thorough bred and very irritable. Mr Tyrwhitt—From its high condition. (Laughter.) The defendant Poultney said he had never driven a better pair of horses. Mr Tyrwhitt—l happen to have seen these horses myself, and if I had not heard the evidence of the veterinary surgeons—Messrs. Cherry and Jarvis--I should have no doubt, and there could be no doubt in the mind of any reasonable being, that they were totally unfit for work, and that they were;in a most wretched condition. I believe from my experienoe more especially in another district, that it is possible to bring forward men calling themselves veterinary surgeons who, from their cupidity and self-interest, will swear the horses are quite capable of working when it is clear that they are totally unfit for work. These horses were in a miserable state, and when the veterinary surgeon called by the defendant Bacon speaks of the irritability of one of the poor creatures there is vary little doubt that it arose from its sufferings owing to its miserable condition. In this case a man called respectable because he is rich employs a man of a low class to drive his horses, The horses are to be kept alive if possible—because the loss of them would be a little loss to the owner, and while they can stand they are worked. Such persons are wretches. brutes, and I should like to know if the horse is net the best of the two. The poor horse being high bred is its wretchedness, as it will work as long as its spirit will allow it. It is a pity the same treatment cannot be in flicted on such men as those before me. What a howl and cry out there would then be at the treatment. I shall fine the driver 20s. or 14 days' imprisonment. Ido not consider him half so bad as the rich and stout man who stands beside him. I shall fine the owner 40a, or a month's imprisonment for each horse, my only doubt being whether I caught not to inflict imprisonment. I hope his stables will be watched, and if ho is brought here again ho will be imprisoned for three months. The decision seemed to give great satisfaction to a crowded court. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE-AFFRAY WITH THB PO. LICE.—Mr George Addison, a clerk in Messrs Child's bank, Temple-bar, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with behav ing in a disorderly manner, and he was further charged with Mr Norton Dryden Hutchinson, the keeper of a re. froshment house at No. 2, Rupert-street, with assaulting police-constable Roffey, 308 A. Mr Ed. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defendant Addison. Police-constable George Roffey, 308 A, said that at one o'clock that morning he saw the defendant Addison at the corner of Rupert-street with several other gentlemen. There was a great noise, and Addison said, " Why the hell do you not go on your beat, and not listen to me." I told him I was doing my duty, and he then knocked my hat off with his stick. I was then pushed from behind into the crowd, and some one's cigar fell out of his mouth, and they said I was drunk. Another constable came to my assistance, and three of the gentlemen dragged me into No. 2, Rupert street, and then Hutchinson came from the back and slammed the door to and looked me in. The constable who was outside got assistance, but before it came Addison struck me three times. I told Hutchinson that Addison was my prisoner. The door was then opened and we were let out, On getting into the street Addison struck me again. By Mr E. Lewis—There were several gentlemen stand ing together. Addison knocked my hat off with his stick sideways, and it was knocked off a second time from be behind. I will swear it was Addison who did it the first time. Some of the other gentlemen said it was not Addi son who did it. 1 did not make a rush at Addison and nearly knock the cigar he was smoking down his throat. Addison, when I seized him, did not say I was choking him, and that it I did not release my hold he would strike me. I was draggt d into the house by the collar. Addison struck mo three times inside the house. He did not com plain of my striking him. Addison assisted in dragging me into the passage. The other constable who came up did not advise me to lot Addison alone. The other constable had his hat knocked off also. John O'Donnell, 162 C—l went to the assistance of Roffey, and saw him holding Addison by the collar. My hat was then knocked off three or four times, and while I was picking it up Roffey was forced into the house No. 2, Rupert-street. I sprung my rattle and other constables came, and the defendants were taken to the station. I saw Addison give Roffey a violent blow in the face as he was ► oing to the station. Mr Lewis said that he appeared for Mr Addison, who had THAMES, A DISORDERLY PlEPER.—Catherine Phillips, a woman about 50 years of age, was brought before Mr Paget charged with disorderly conduct in the workhouse of Mile end Old Town. _ . Themes Moffatt, Workhouse porter, said the prisoner had been an inmate more than four years. Yesterday she ap plied for a day's leave of absence, which was refused. In the evening she managed to procure the workhouse shawl she was then wearing and a pass, and in his absence she went out, She returned at eleven o'clock at night, after he had given up the keys, and he told her sho must go into the receiving ward. She immediately assailed him with a volley of abuse, used foul language, and called him a pig, and other abusive epithets. S he clamoured from eleven until twelve o'clock, and he then gave her into custody. The shawl was the property of the guardians of Mile-end. Mr Bowdler (second clerk) —She brought it back with her. Moffatt—Yes, she did, sir. The prisoner said the porter had antipathy against her ever since she made a charge against him two years ago, and that she went out of the houso yesterday to suck a place, and had been promised employment. She talked very loud, but used no bad language. She took the shawl from the stores, and picked up the pass in the workhouse. She knew she had done mrong in going out, but she had been sufficiently punished by being kept out of her bed all night. Moffat said the charge made against him by the prisoner was investigated by Mr Woolrych and dismissed. Mr Paget said it was perfectly intolerable that people who wore supported by the ratepayers should conduct themselves in this way. There were many hardworking people who had paid rates and taxes not o well kept as the prisoner. lie sentenced her to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour. NARKE T S—This Day. MARL LANE.

THE ABOLITION OF THE LONDON TOLL• BARS. — The St. Pancras News states that the recent act has had the effect of throwing au additional tax of 3d in the pound on the inhabitants of that parish, where the maintenance of 78 miles of road has been traushand to the rates, Alarming Fire in the City. Late on Monday night a fire broke out in Threadneedle street, in the immediate neighbourhood of the Stock Ex change, which for a time caused great apprehension and alarm, endangering, as it did, the surrounding property, which is among the most valuable in the whole city of Lon don, as:well as the most interesting in an architectural point of view. It originated in a stately building known as the Telegraph Station, fronting the north-eastern part of the Royal Exchange, and in the joint occupation of the Magnetic and the Submarine Telegraph Companies and the Scottish Insurance Company. The edifice is four stories high, the two uppermost of which are used in the operations of the Magne tic Company, and the middle floor from the ground in those of the Submarine. There is a fine hall on the basement, used for the general receipt and transmission of messages and common to both companies. The building has an elegant portico in Threadneedle-street, and iS surmounted by a large handsome clock. Immediately adjoining it on the west is a magn'ficeat structure erected within the last year for the North British and Mercantile Insurance Com pany, and which is just being completed, and en the west of that again is the bank tf Messrs. Prescott. At the back of the Telegraph Station, and abutting upon it in one part, is the Stock-Exchange, standing midway between Thread needle and Throgmorton-street, and hedged in by property of enormous value, and some of it cf historic and civic in terest. On the top floor of the Telegraph station is a cluster of rooms occupied by the Magnetic Company, and in one of these, a place in which stationery was stored of the value of upwards of L5OO, the fire originated,about a quarter before 11 o'clock. In a room on the same floor abont 30 telegraphio l / 4 instruments, each of them of great value, were at work, and another, used as a workshop for the making and repairing of instruments, contained much cosey mate rial. To those two apartments the fire spread rapidly from the stationery depot, and destroyed the whole of the instru ments and materials. The workshop of the Magnetic Com pany was immediately oveethat of the Submarine, and on the floor of it falling in a mass of burning material fell with it and set fire to the workshop below, consuming all that it contained. Thence the fire spread to a room of the Submarine Company on the same floor, where from twenty to thirty instruments or more were at work, nearly all of which wore destroyed, and the telegraphic opera tions of the company were in consequence suspended for a time. The whole roof of the building was completely burnt, and at one time the flames poured out of the windows at the back in a manner to imperil the Stock Exchange. Besides the rooms which have been completely gutted, much damage has been done to the ceilings of others, and espe cially to that of the hall on the basement, by water; but in the result the fire was happily confined to the building in which it originated. Two hand engines and a steam fire engine from the Watling-street station arrived promptly upon the scene after the alarm had been given, and others followed fro.n the stations at Bishopagate, Farringdon street, Southwark-bridge-road, Wellclose-square, and Whitecross-street. Eventually there were eight engines on the spot, four of which were worked by steam. There were 36 firemen in all engaged on the occasion, and Captain Shaw, the chief of the London Fite Brigade, was present directing the operations. The engines played on the burning building for about an hour and a half or two hours, by which time the fire had been subdued. Accord ing to Isard, a fireman from the Watling-street station, who first arrived with a hand engine, a delay of fully ten minutes occurred from the want of an adequate supply of water in the mains of the New River Company at that particular spot. At ono time the pole at the top of the building from which the telegraph wires of both companies radiate in various directions was in a blaze, but it was eventually saved and no harm was done to the wires outside the building. The operations of the Magnetic) Company were but slightly interfered with by the fire, and the company were able to transmit their early morning express messages as usual to the provincial news papers in different parts of the kingdom. Some interrup tion took place in the business of the Submarins Company, but it was of short: duration, and by noon yesterday the operations of both companies were going on as usual. The Open Spaces near the MetropoliF. At the adjourned meeting of vestrymen for the parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, held last night in the School roam of the New Tabernacle, Old.street-road, under the presidency of J. Bayley, Esq., senior churchwarden, the usual business having been disposed of, E. WALKER, Esq., rose to move the following resolution, of which he had given notice at the previous meeting : " That a communication be made to the vestry of Hackney parish, and also to the board of works for that district, asking if they are prepared to co-operate with this vestry in making some effort to get the sanction of Parliament or otherwise to enclose, plant, and maintain the London-fields as a public park and place of recreation, upon the basis of this parish bearing part of the costs which may have to be borne by the local boards, and whether either or both parties will appoint a committee to meet a committee of this parish upon the subject." Mr Walker said he considered it un necessary to say much in support of the proposition. The value to the public health of such a spot of open land, and the advantages that would accrue if made into a park were unquestionable. There were 40 acres of open land, the freehold rights to which were of a very insignificant charac ter—so insignificant that when put up to public auction no one would make a bid for them. Therefore the cost of pur chasing the freehold rights would be but very trifling—so trifling as not to be for one moment compared with the general advantages that would accrue from the fields being saved from the builder, and converted into a publie park. The parish of Hackney had had the matter under conside ration for some time, and he hoped that the vestry would treat the matter in a liberal spirit. It might be said that those fields were not in the parish of Shoreditch, but he would remind the vestry that they were adjacent to it— (hear) —and hence the benefit of a park would be felt by all residing in the parishes contiguous, (Hear, hear.) The question of Finsbury Park had been mooted for the last 10 years, and at the present time, though a portion of their rates had been subscribed for it, the fact was as far from its aecomplishment as ever. (Hear,) Let them, if they could, so far stretch their imagination as to suppose Finsbury Park completed and open, they would find that it was over four miles from Shoreditch, and hence out of the reach of the poor, for whom it was specially intended. (Hear.) As a mere question of health it was important to secure as many open spots near the parish as possible, that the fresh air generated might be wafted into the close courts and alleys, Mr JACKSON' seconded the motion. The re could be.no doubt as to the public utility cf the proposed stop. Tho builder had already tried to encroach upon that space, which ought to be at once secured. Messrs Owen, Yarrow, Fell, and Sarson, supported the motion, atd considered that the work should be set about immediately. Mr PIERCE thought this the moat foolish and outrageous proposition that had ever been submitted for consideration. Let Hackney, which was a much richer parish, do the work itse!f. Let them pave their own parish, and attend to other local matters, without going out of their way to incur !a pense which would be a more special benefit to an adjoining parish. Mr FREEMAN condemned such short-sighted policy as that recommended by Mr Pierce. It was acknowledged that they had po or p eop l e li v i ng i n thsir courts and alleys who could not get enough fresh sir, and he considered that a proposition which would secure an open spot, nearer oven than Victoria Park, where they might inhale the fresh air they so much needed. The cost, he thought, would be trifling as compared with the public benefit conferred. Dr BARER, M.D., said, in a sanitary point of view, the proposed improvement, if carried out, would be a great public benefit, and tend to diminish fever and plague, and be generally conducive to the health of the parish. After some further discussion, the motion WAS carried by a large majority. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.3211 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-ICths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advicfs from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per .£1 stcrlify2. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefcra, nearly 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is quoted 278 t 3 280 per cent., and the pre mium on gold 157 to 158} per cent. Go:d still Continues to be imported in very moderate quantities. SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Sept. 28.—Wind this day at noon—North; moderate breeze and fine weather.

DEAL, Wednesday Morning. Passed, Sept. 27—Stadzierihzw, from Sunderland for Alexandria, Infanticide and Infant Mortality, (From She Medical Circular.) the painful question of the motives which induce many a mother to pervert the finest feelings of female human nature, and to imbrue her hands in the blood of her own offspring, it is net our inten tion to enter, and, like many modern juries who have such cases placed before them, we may pity the culprit while we abhor the crime; and knowing that two parties at least must have been concerned in the steps which indirectly led to the crime in question, we cannot but feel the cruelty of aban doning the criminal of the weaker sez to a fearful doom, while the equally or perhaps more guilty partner of her delinquency is allowed to escape. The prevention of this kind of child murder will hardly be cccomplished by the verdicts of juries, however severe, but by the inculcation of a higher tone of morality than that which at prevent exists, end by the visitation of severer punishments than now fall to the lot of the male delinquent. The causes of infant mcrlality, so far as they are connected with faulty plans of nursing and alimen tation, have lately been examined with very great care by a lady, Mrs Baines, who has written some pamphlets upon the subject, characterised by much good sense and good feeling. She attributes many evil consequences to the practice of hiring wet nurses, especially those from the "fallen ;" many to artificial feeding as a substitute for breast-milk ; and many to the absence of farinaceous matters in infant food. In the primary truth laid down by this lady, all members of our profession most cheerfully coincide, namely, that much of the mortality among children is due to the neglect on the part of mothers to per. form the obvious duty of suckling their children. This neglect is sometimes caused by the obedience rendered by some females rather to the demands of fashion than to the dictates of nature, and often, among the labouring classes, it is due to the neces• sity, either real or supposed, of leaving the children while the mothers are earning their living. Ad mitting, as we all must do, the existence of the evil, the remedy obviously lies in the province of ladies, who by precept and example may prevail upon their sisters, both of high and low estate, to fulfil their maternal duties, even at the sacrifice of fashion or of the claims of industry. As to fashion, it is easy enough to dispenEe with the allegiance to suckle a fickle deity; and as to industry, it is al. leged that the husbands among the working classes are prepared to forego the advantages obtained by the earnings of their wives in return for the greater comfort they would enjoy by the undivided atten. ton of the women to their domestic duties. It is a remarkable fact that, during the Preston strike, there was a marked dimirm:ion of the infant mor tality, which is explained by the fact that the women were unable to obtain work at the mills, and were thus obliged to stay at home with their children, whose lives were thus preserved even at a time of extreme destitution. Into the moral question involved in the employ ment of wet nurses, whether the latter are married or are selected from the "fallen," we are not pre pared to enter; but no medical man is ignorant of the fact that many motlers are unable, from physi cal reasons, to suckle their own children, who, therefore, run very great danger of sinking from sease, unless some substitute can be found for the breast-milk of which they are deprived. Admitting, as we do, that each mother's milk is best suited to her• own child, and that a change in this respect is often highly disadvantageous, and always hazard ous, yet we are not prepared to admit that any otter p:an is equal to wet-nursing—care being, cf course, taken in the selection of the nurse, both on moral and physical grounds. Nor are we prepared to admit, with the talented and zealous authoress of the pamphlets to which we allude, that when human milk cannot be obtained the milk of the inferior animals is necessarily injurious. Oa the contrary, we believe tht.; the milk of cows and goats, making allowance for the difference in chemical consti tuents, and correcting the composition accordingly, is a very suitable aliment for infants accidentally deprived of breast-milk, and that the addition of farinaceous matter, as recommended very strongly by Mrs. Baines, is of questionable utility. Not that we adopt the ultra-chemical views advanced by some authorities, who would reduce all physiology to the test of the crucible or the weighing scales, and reject the influence of the nervous system, the vital power, and the essential constitution or idio syncrasy of each ir.dividaal, bat because we believe the opinions we advance are in accordance with ex perience as well as theory, and are in themselves reasonable, practical, and philosophical. General Butler, the Yankee Haynau. A letter from America says—" A little incident that has just occured—a portion of the unpublished history of the war—is of interest, as showing, in itself, that at least the thought of poetic justice is not entirely dead in this country, and, in its sequel, the complete terrorism exercised over tne press. Major. Gen. Butler, the hero of Big Bethel and of New Orleans, whose last honour was the reception from Williams College of the title of LL D., came to this city last week for the purpose of looking after his interests in the matter of some property bequeathed to him by his brother. This brother was invited to New Orleans by the model Major- General and Doctor of Laws at the time the latter dispensed justice, hung Confederates, and persecuted women in the Crescent City. The unmilitary But ler wsnt to Louisana a poor, worthless, vagabond; bat be flourished so Emvzingly under the auspices of the American Haynau that in two years he had amassed a fortune of 2,000,000 dols. He was, by order of Gen. Butler, alone permitted to trade with the people of New Orlcans; and what with his legitimate , business within the Federal lines sod his contraband trade with the Confederates, the accumulation of the snug sum above mentioned was an easy matter. Well, he came to New York with his ill-gotten wealth, but had scarcely arrived here when be died ; either a victim to his own excesses or to some still more subtle and fearful agency. It is whispered that the end of this mushroom millionaire was hastened by artificial means; but it was not stated who is implicated. If any person, it is believed to be some one in pursuit of vengeance, or some one whose worldly interests would be ad vanced by his death, However that may be, whether there was or was not a deep damnation' in his taking off,' he died and left his property to Major-General Butler; and the latter, as before mentioned, visited the metropolis on legal business connected with the bequest. No sooner had the fact of his presence become known than one of his victims, at least the story goes, determined to settle accounts with him. The name of this per. son is Mrs. Sarah D. Shore. Some months ago her husband, William W. Shore, an army cerre. spondent, located at Norfolk, Virginia, was sus pected of having written some communications rather free in their comments upon the military administration of affairs to the World newspaper, of this city; and as a consequsnce the unlucky letter writer, though then in a military department not under General Butler's control, was kidnapped by the latter, and after having been subjected to various indignities, placed in solitary confinement in a dungeon at Fortress Monroe, where he now lies, without opportunity to communicate with family or friends, and without any present hope of justice or relief. Exasperated beyond endurance by the treatment her husband had received, Mrs Shore, who is generally a mild and amiable person, and a woman of remarkable personal attractions, procured a revolver, and proceeded to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where her persecutor was stopping. She found him superintending the disposition of his baggage, and openly charged him with having stolen her husband. Butler replied in a contemp tuous and sneering manner, when the unhappy lady levelled the pistol at his head and fired. No injury was inflicted, and this would-be Charlotte Corday was prevented from attempting further violence by members of Butler's staff standing near. The mat ter was hushed up, and the newspapers dare not publish it. It is added th at when Mrs Sllore's stcny was related to the guests of the hotel who witnessed the rencontre, great indignation was expressed against Butler, and threats of lynching him freely made, so that he de. ni d it prudent to remove his precious person for a time from mortal ken.
